AUTO CONFIG

Figure 4 –

AUTO CONFIG

display where automatic mode switching can be over-ridden.

The grid represented in the

AUTO CONFIG

display is

used to manually over-ride the automation’s mode

switching. The selected channel is displayed in the

upper left of the display. If the displayed channel is

part of a group, this is indicated in the upper right of

the grid.

The changes made in this grid are applied to channel

and controls selected by the

APPLY TO

buttons at the

right of the display. Use the rightmost POD to make

this selection. Note that it is not necessary to press

ENTER

to confirm this setting.

When a module or control is set to any mode except

Auto

using this display, that module or control

remains in that mode until it is reset back to

Auto

.

The settings made in this display are saved as part of

the mix data.

MODULE

When selected, the changes in this dis-

play will only be applied to the specified control on

the selected channel.

ALL MODULE

When selected, the changes in this

display are applied to a single control across all chan-

nels. For example, with

ALL MODULE

selected,

enabling

SAFE

in the

FADER

row places all mixer fad-

ers into Safe mode.

ALL CNTRLS

When selected, the changes in this

display are applied to all controls on the selected

channel. This applies the changes to the libraries.

ALL

When selected, the changes in this display are

applied to all controls on all channels.

COPY

This soft key copies the configuration of the

currently-selected channel into a special clipboard

where it can then be pasted to another channel.

PASTE

This soft key pastes the configuration copied

using the

COPY

soft key to the currently-selected

channel. Note that there is no Undo for this opera-

tion.

Channel LED Indicators

Each channel has an LED indicator immediately

above the fader. When automating a mix, these indi-

cators can be used to show whether a channel is writ-

ing, reading or reverting.

Use the

OPTION

display screen to set the function of

these indicators. The default use is as channel over-

load indicators, as explained in the main manual.

When used as automation indicators, they flash when

any control on a channel is writing or reverting. They

are lit steadily when all controls on a channel are

reading.

The global Revert LED above the

REVERT

key fol-

lows the behavior of the channel indicators when

they are used for automation.
